It still is, according to the same people.

Until, of course, certain Democrats aren't getting their way in Washington. Then, all of the sudden, it's this unstoppable force of a mere handful of politicians that are unilaterally controlling the direction of the country.

Must be hard to be a lefty. The constant flipping back and forth on things must make one especially susceptible to whiplash.

Tell ya what. Go build yourself a factory, and pay your workers whatever you think they should have. Or better yet, let them unionize and just give in 100% to whatever the union demands. After all, you want your employees to have a high standard of living, right? So pay 'em all $1000/hr or whatever they ask for.

Then, when nobody's buying your products because they cost 5x what your competition is charging, be sure to come back and let us know.

Now, if we're talking about their ignorant, misspelled signs, well, that I can..and do...laugh at.
LOL!

Thank you guys for proving my point in such a crystalline fashion, and extra thanks for doing with consecutive posts. You guys rock.

Yes. They never do. They simply make their pronouncements and then move on. One would think that if you don't have an answer when someone questions your opinions, that it would cause you to question those opinions yourself. But instead they just move on to the next thread and post the same unsupportable garbage all over again.
